AI overview

Flevoland is the Netherlands' newest province, created in 1986 from reclaimed land that was built up during the 1950s and 1960s in what was once a sea called the Zuiderzee. Though it is the smallest province by dry land area, it represents a remarkable feat of Dutch engineering and water management that transformed a former sea into usable territory.
